Dodgy statistics Some say that statistics lie and some say statistics are used for useful purposes. My take on the following from a newspaper post is they certainly tell half-truths. The virus has in all probability been around in China since early October, not December as claimed by Chinese authorities. So in all probability tens of thousands had been infected before their statistics started. Secondly, the statistics implied they started recording infected people WHO SHOWED SYMPTOMS. But by then possibly 100's of thousands had been infected and were not counted because they were young as seen below in the chart or were recorded as dying from flu or some other older persons passing. By 11th February 2020, in all probability, more than 1 million had been infected BASED on what this data actually shows. Of course, 95% of the population showed no symptoms or very little symptoms. And also up to 59 years of age in fact were in the not affected in any large numbers? Unfortunately, the world newspapers and TV media are portraying mortal deaths almost with numbers like 2-3% based upon typical reporting like the graph above. Are we on the biggest PANDEMIC ride SCARE on DODGY- DODGY statistics? Time will tell but I'm betting on good scary lies with statistic will beat anyone out their claims no pandemic.
